As a side note:

I know I said wait, to see what type of gun that would fit you but:

You mentioned the Ruger MK II/III. That would be high on my list as a recommended starter pistol (and keeper).

The are quite popular as a competition pistol, they are cheap, reliable and accurate. They'll even work after you get more experienced.

As I mentioned the Spearfish club. Regardless of what style of match they are shooting on any given weekend, they have a 22 category, or will let you shoot your 22 in what ever event that's going on.

Not to mention they are about as cheap to shoot as you can find.
